[0007] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0008] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims and the above drawings of this application are intended to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order. Also, the terms "comprise", "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover, not exclude, the inclusion of other components. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of operations or units is not limited to the listed operations or units, and may optionally include unlisted operations or units, or may optionally include other operations or units inherent to those processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0009] An "embodiment" referred to in this specification means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The wording anywhere in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand, explicitly or implicitly, that an embodiment described in this specification can be combined with other embodiments when there is no contradiction between at least two of the combined embodiments.

[0010] Referring to FIG. 1, the present application provides a vehicle window assembly 3. The vehicle window assembly 3 may be applied to a vehicle 1 shown in FIG. 15, but is not limited thereto. The vehicle window assembly 3 may be a triangular window (also called a quarter window), but is not limited thereto, and the present application will describe the triangular window as an example only. The vehicle window assembly 3 includes a light-transmitting member 20, a decorative module 30, and a sealing strip 10. Hereinafter, the specific structures, relative positional relationships, etc. of the light-transmitting member 20, the decorative module 30, and the sealing strip 10 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0011] The light-transmitting member 20 can transmit light, that is, external light can pass through the light-transmitting member 20 and enter the vehicle 1, thereby ensuring sufficient light inside the vehicle 1. The light-transmitting member 20 may be a glass plate (for example, transparent glass for automobiles, gray glass, green glass, polycarbonate (PC) glass, etc.), but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting member 20 may be made of a material other than glass that can transmit light, and is not limited thereto in the present application. Optionally, the light-transmitting member 20 has a thickness of 3 mm. The light-transmitting member 20 may have a single-layer structure (for example, a single-layer glass plate) or a multi-layer structure (for example, laminated glass).

[0012] The decorative module 30 functions as a decoration to improve the appearance of the vehicle 1, and the structure of the decorative module 30 will be specifically introduced in the following embodiment.

[0013] The sealing strip 10 is for wrapping and protecting the edges of the light-transmitting member 20 and the decorative module 30, and for connecting the light-transmitting member 20 and the decorative module 30 together to form a vehicle frame 2. (See Figure 15) The material of the sealing strip 10 may be, but is not limited to, Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc.

[0014] 2, the sealing strip 10 includes a first sealing strip 110 and a second sealing strip 120. The first sealing strip 110 surrounds and forms a sealed area constituting the receiving area A1. The second sealing strip 120 is connected to opposite sides of the first sealing strip 110 to divide the receiving area A1 into a first area B1 and a second area B2 spaced apart from each other. The light-transmitting member 20 is provided in the first area B1, and the decorative module 30 is provided in the second area B2.

[0015] In the related art, the decorative module 30 in the car window assembly 3 is provided in the second region B2, and the translucent member 20 is simultaneously provided in the first region B1 and the second region B2. That is, in the second region B2, the translucent member 20 and the decorative module 30 are provided in a stacked manner, in other words, the orthogonal projection of the translucent member 20 and the orthogonal projection of the decorative module 30 in the second region B2 overlap. As can be understood, in the setting form of the related art, the thickness of the entity located in the second region B2 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the translucent member 20 and the thickness of the decorative module 30.

[0016] In contrast, in the present application, since only the decorative module 30 is provided in the second region B2, the thickness of the entity located in the second region B2 is the thickness of the decorative module 30. The car window assembly 3 having the structure according to the present application is thinner than the installation form of the related art, and an increase in the width of the vehicle 1 is avoided.

[0017] Optionally, the area of ​​the orthogonal projection of the first region of the light-transmitting member 20 is the first area, and the area of ​​the orthogonal projection of the second region of the decorative module 30 is the second area. The sum of the first area and the second area is the third area, and the first area is 25% to 75% of the third area. It can be understood that when the car window assembly 3 is applied to the vehicle 1, the smaller the light-transmitting member 20 is, the less light the light-transmitting member 20 transmits, and the light of the rear row of the vehicle 1 becomes darker and the field of vision that the rear row people can have is narrowed, so that the rear row people feel a sense of oppression. However, if the decorative module 30 is too small, it cannot play a role in decorating the appearance of the vehicle 1, so the first area is set in the range of 25% to 75% of the third area. Thereby, the light and field of vision requirements of the rear row people can be met, and the decorative module 30 can also have a sufficient decorative area.

[0018] Referring to FIG. 1, the car window assembly 3 further includes a decorative strip 40. The decorative strip 40 is provided on the first sealing strip 110 around the receiving area A1, in other words, the decorative strip 40 is provided on the first sealing strip 110 along the shape of the first sealing strip 110. In the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, a part of the decorative strip 40 is provided on a part of the outer edge of the transparent member 20, and another part of the decorative strip 40 is provided on a part of the outer edge of the decorative module 30. As can be understood, the decorative strip 40 is provided around the outer edge of the car window assembly 3, which can enhance the appearance of the car window assembly 3 and produce a good decorative effect. The material of the decorative bar 40 may be, but is not limited to, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. The metal material has a light reflecting effect, which makes the decorative effect even better.

[0019] 3 and 4, the decorative module 30 includes a decorative plate 310, a photoelectric module 320, and a support plate 330. The material of the decorative plate 310 may be, but is not limited to, plastic, and the color of the decorative plate 310 may be, but is not limited to, white, yellow, gray, etc. The decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330 are arranged opposite to each other to form a first receiving space Z1. When the car window assembly 3 is applied to a vehicle 1, the decorative plate 310 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle 1, that is, people can directly see or touch the decorative plate 310 from the outside of the vehicle 1.

[0020] The photovoltaic module 320 includes a light emitting assembly 321 that can emit light. The light emitting assembly 321 is accommodated in the first accommodating space Z1, that is, the light emitting assembly 321 is located between the decorative plate 310 and the supporting plate 330, and the decorative plate 310 and the supporting plate 330 can protect the light emitting assembly 321. Furthermore, at least a part of the area of ​​the decorative plate 310 can transmit light, and the transparent area of ​​the decorative plate 310 can transmit the light emitted by the light emitting assembly 321.

[0021] 5 and 6, the decorative plate 310 includes a light-shielding portion 311 and a plurality of light-transmitting portions 312. The term "a plurality" means two or more, and may specifically include, but is not limited to, two, three, five, six, eight, etc. The light transmittance of the light-shielding portion 311 is smaller than that of the light-transmitting portion 312. The light transmittance of the light-transmitting portion 312 is greater than 0, that is, the light-transmitting portion 312 can transmit the light emitted from the light-emitting assembly 321. The light transmittance of the light-shielding portion 311 may be equal to or greater than 0, that is, the light-shielding portion 311 cannot transmit the light emitted from the light-emitting assembly 321, or can transmit only a small portion of the light, and the light transmitted by the light-shielding portion 311 is less than the light transmitted by the light-transmitting portion 312.

[0022] Furthermore, the plurality of light-transmitting portions 312 are spaced apart from each other. The light-shielding portion 311 surrounds the periphery of each light-transmitting portion 312. In other words, the plurality of light-transmitting portions 312 are spaced apart from each other on the decorative plate 310, and the remaining portion of the decorative plate 310 serves as the light-shielding portion 311. When the light-emitting assembly 321 emits light, it forms a plurality of light strips spaced apart from each other on the decorative plate 310, thereby improving the technological feel of the car window assembly 3.

[0023] 7 and 8, the number of the light emitting assemblies 321 is at least one set, and may be, but is not limited to, one, two, five, seven, eight, etc., and the present application will only describe three sets as an example. Each set of the light emitting assemblies 321 includes a light guiding strip 3211, a light bulb 3212, and a circuit board 3213. The light bulb 3212 is a light source that emits light, and may be, but is not limited to, a light-emitting diode (LED). The light guiding strip 3211 is for converting a point light source into a surface light source. The circuit board 3213 is provided on one side of the light guiding strip 3211. The light guiding strip 3211 is provided corresponding to the light transmitting portion 312 of the decorative plate 310, so that the light can be sufficiently irradiated to the outside.

[0024] 8, the number of the light bulbs 3212 is plural, and plural means two or more, specifically, it may be two, three, four, six, eight, nine, ten, etc., but the present application is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the plurality of light bulbs 3212 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the light guiding strip 3211, as can be understood, such an arrangement can make the light guiding strip 3211 obtain a uniform amount of light in the longitudinal direction, and ensure the uniform light output and good light emitting quality of the decorative module 30.

[0025] 7, the photoelectric module 320 further includes a connector 322 and a cable 323. The connector 322 is provided on one side of the support plate 330 that is away from the decorative plate 310. The cable 323 passes through the support plate 330, and one end of the two ends of the cable 323 is connected to the circuit board 3213 of the light emitting assembly 321, and the other end is connected to the connector 322, that is, the connector 322 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3213 through the cable 323, and is further electrically connected to the light bulb 3212 mounted on the circuit board 3213. It should be noted that the cable 323 can be bent to a certain extent, which is advantageous for connecting the connector 322 to the vehicle 1. The connector 322 is pluggably connected to the vehicle 1, and as can be understood, the pluggable form means that the electrical connection between the decorative module 30 and the vehicle 1 is a detachable connection, so that the decorative module 30 can be independently removed from the vehicle 1 for repair or replacement without destroying the connection.

[0026] 9, in one embodiment, the decorative module 30 further includes a first cover plate 340 and a second cover plate 350. The first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350 close each other to form a second receiving space Z2. Hereinafter, the details will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] The first cover plate 340 includes a first plate body 341 and a first frame 342. The first plate body 341 is provided facing the support plate 330. The first frame 342 is connected to the periphery of the first plate body 341 so as to bend in a direction away from the support plate 330, that is, the first frame 342 is bent from the periphery of the first plate body 341 towards the decorative plate 310.

[0028] The second cover plate 350 includes a second plate body 351 and a second frame 352. The second plate body 351 is provided facing the decorative plate 310. The second frame 352 is connected to the periphery of the second plate body 351 so as to bend in a direction away from the decorative plate 310, that is, the second frame 352 is bent from the periphery of the second plate body 351 toward the support plate 330.

[0029] Furthermore, the first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350 close each other to form the second accommodation space Z2. "Closed" refers to the first frame 342 being inserted into the second frame 352, or the second frame 352 being inserted into the first frame 342. In this application, the first frame 342 being inserted into the second frame 352 will be described as an example only.

[0030] Furthermore, the light emitting assembly 321 is disposed in a second receiving space Z2 formed by the first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350. As can be seen, the provision of the first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350 can further protect the light emitting assembly 321 from destruction. Specifically, the decorative plate 310 and the supporting plate 330 are the first protective layer, and the first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350 are the second protective layer, and the two protective layers can effectively isolate the light emitting assembly 321 from the outside world and provide excellent protection.

[0031] Optionally, the first frame 342 of the first cover plate 340 is hermetically connected to the second frame 352 of the second cover plate 350. The "sealed connection" can be realized by, but is not limited to, welding (e.g., joining the first frame 342 to the second frame 352 by laser welding), gluing (e.g., filling an adhesive between the first frame 342 and the second frame 352 to bond them), elastic sealing (e.g., providing an elastic member in the gap between the first frame 342 and the second frame 352, the elastic member being compressed by the first frame 342 and the second frame 352, and the opposing sides of the elastic member being elastically abutted against the first frame 342 and the second frame 352 respectively to realize sealing). Of course, the "sealed connection" can be realized in other ways, which will not be introduced here. As can be seen, by sealingly connecting the first cover plate 340 to the second cover plate 350, a waterproof and dustproof effect can be achieved, and the service life of the light emitting assembly 321 can be extended to ensure continuous effective operation.

[0032] The second cover plate 350 is made of a light-transmitting material so as to transmit the light emitted from the light emitting assembly 321. The material of the second cover plate 350 may be, but is not limited to, acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA), polycarbonate (polycarbonate, PC), etc. The material of the first cover plate 340 may be the same as the material of the second cover plate 350, and is not limited here.

[0033] 10, in another embodiment, the decorative module 30 further includes a first cover plate 340 accommodated in the first accommodation space Z1. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is that the second cover plate 350 is omitted, that is, in this embodiment, only the first cover plate 340 is provided, and the above-mentioned second cover plate 350 is not provided. By providing it in this way, the first accommodation space Z1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the distance between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330, and the overall thickness of the decorative module 30 can be reduced.

[0034] In yet another embodiment, the decorative module 30 further includes a second cover plate 350 accommodated in the first accommodation space Z1. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in Fig. 9 is that the first cover plate 340 is omitted, that is, in this embodiment, only the second cover plate 350 is provided, and the first cover plate 340 is not provided. By providing it in this way, the first accommodation space Z1 can be made smaller, thereby reducing the distance between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330, and thus reducing the overall thickness of the decorative module 30.

[0035] 11, in yet another embodiment, the opposing sides of the light guiding strip 3211 abut against the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330, respectively. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is that the first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350 are omitted. This can further reduce the first accommodating space Z1, thereby reducing the distance between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330, and thus reducing the overall thickness of the decorative module 30.

[0036] 12, in yet another embodiment, the light guiding strip 3211 and the decorative plate 310 are an integral structure. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 11 is that the light guiding strip 3211 and the decorative plate 310 are integrated. As can be seen, by providing the light guiding strip 3211 and the decorative plate 310 as an integral unit, there is no gap between the light guiding strip 3211 and the decorative plate 310, so that the overall thickness of the decorative module 30 can be reduced. Optionally, the integral structure of the light guiding strip 3211 and the decorative plate 310 is formed by one-piece injection molding.

[0037] 11, in yet another embodiment, the circuit board 3213 has a mounting surface M1, and the light bulb 3212 is mounted on the side of the circuit board 3213 having the mounting surface M1. The circuit board 3213 is obliquely arranged on one side of the light guiding strip 3211, and the mounting surface M1 of the circuit board 3213 is arranged opposite the light guiding strip 3211, and the light bulb 3212 arranged on the mounting surface M1 faces the light guiding strip 3211, in other words, the light guiding strip 3211 is located in the light output direction of the light bulb 3212, that is, the light bulb 3212 directly shines on the light guiding strip 3211. As can be seen, with this arrangement, the light guiding strip 3211 can fully obtain the light emitted by the light bulb 3212, the light utilization efficiency is improved, and the good light emitting effect of the light guiding strip 3211 is also ensured.

[0038] In the structure shown in FIG. 11, the circuit board 3213 is provided to stand at an angle, so that the circuit board 3213 needs to be abutted against other components on both sides thereof in the width direction so that the circuit board 3213 does not fall over while the vehicle 1 is running. In FIG. 11, both sides thereof in the width direction of the circuit board 3213 abut against the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330, respectively. Of course, FIG. 11 is merely an exemplary structure, and in other structures of the decorative module 30, both sides thereof in the width direction of the circuit board 3213 may abut against other components, for example, as in the structure shown in FIG. 9, both sides thereof in the width direction of the circuit board 3213 abut against the first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350, respectively. Various possible abutment modes will not be described in detail here.

[0039] 13, in yet another embodiment, the circuit board 3213 includes a mounting surface M1, and the light bulb 3212 is mounted on the side of the circuit board 3213 having the mounting surface M1. The mounting surface M1 is disposed opposite the decorative plate 310, that is, the mounting surface M1 is disposed opposite the support plate 330, and the light bulb 3212 disposed on the mounting surface M1 faces the decorative plate 310. As can be seen, compared with the structure in FIG. 11, the circuit board 3213 in this embodiment is disposed between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330 in a "lying" form, so that the distance between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330 is not limited, in other words, the distance between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330 can be made smaller, and the overall thickness of the decorative module 30 can be made thinner.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 14, in another embodiment, the mounting surface M1 is disposed opposite to the decorative plate 310, that is, the mounting surface M1 is disposed opposite to the support plate 330, and the circuit board 3213 is a flexible printed circuit board (Flexible Printed Circuit, FPC). The only difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 13 is that the circuit board 3213 is a flexible circuit board. Compared with the rigid printed circuit board (shown in FIG. 13), the flexible circuit board is thinner and is closer to the side of the light guide strip 3211 that is separated from the decorative plate 310 after the light bulb 3212 is mounted, so that the thickness of the light guide strip 3211 can be made thinner, and the distance between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330 can be made smaller, and the overall thickness of the decorative module 30 can be made thinner.

[0041] Optionally, in a configuration in which the mounting surface M1 is arranged opposite the decorative plate 310, the light bulb 3212 is a side-emitting type light bulb, i.e., the light-emitting surface of the light bulb 3212 faces the light-guiding strip 3211, so that the light-guiding strip 3211 can fully acquire the light emitted by the light bulb 3212, thereby improving the light utilization efficiency and ensuring the good light-emitting effect of the light-guiding strip 3211.

[0042] 14, optionally, a groove C1 is provided on the outer side of the decorative plate 310 in the direction toward the light guide strip 3211, that is, the groove C1 is provided on one side of the light-transmitting portion 312 on the decorative plate 310 away from the light guide strip 3211. The cross-sectional shape of the groove C1 may be, but is not limited to, a circular arc, a triangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, etc. As can be understood, the existence of the groove C1 means that the thickness of the substance at that position is thinned, which is favorable for the light emitted by the light guide strip 3211 to pass through the light-transmitting portion 312 at the position of the groove C1, and thus ensures good light output quality of the car window assembly 3. Furthermore, optionally, the groove C1 extends along the longitudinal direction of the light guide strip 3211, in other words, the longitudinal direction of the groove C1 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the light guide strip 3211 (which is also the longitudinal direction of the light-transmitting portion 312). This arrangement ensures uniformity of light output in the longitudinal direction of the light-transmitting portion 312. The groove C1 provided in this embodiment can be used in conjunction with any embodiment not inconsistent with the above embodiment, and the specific installation manner can be referred to in this embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 15, the present application further provides a vehicle 1. The vehicle 1 includes a vehicle frame 2 and a car window assembly 3 described in any of the above embodiments. The car window assembly 3 is attached to the vehicle frame 2. The vehicle frame 2 is the skeleton of the vehicle 1, and supports and connects each assembly of the vehicle 1, holds each assembly in a relatively accurate position, and bears the weight of the parts of the vehicle 1 itself, and shocks, twists, inertial forces, etc. that the vehicle 1 receives during traveling. For a specific structure of the car window assembly 3, please refer to the drawings and explanations in the embodiments.

[0044] Vehicle 1 may be, but is not limited to, a passenger car, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), a sport / suburban utility vehicle (SUV), an off-road vehicle (ORV), a pickup truck, a wagon, a bus, a truck, etc.

[0045] 16, the vehicle 1 further includes a control device 4. The control device 4 can be electrically connected to the photoelectric module 320 via a connector 322. The control device 4 is configured to issue a control signal for controlling the light emitting state of the photoelectric module 320 according to the state of the vehicle 1.

[0046] The state of the vehicle 1 may be, but is not limited to, the running state of the vehicle 1 (e.g., acceleration state, braking state, etc.), the battery state (e.g., charging state, power state, etc.), the door state (closed state, open state, etc.), etc. When the vehicle 1 is in a certain state, the control device 4 generates and transmits a control signal corresponding to the state to the photoelectric module 320, and the photoelectric module 320 receiving the control signal exhibits a corresponding light-emitting state. The light-emitting state may be, but is not limited to, the light-guiding strip 3211 being constantly lit, flashing, changing the light-emitting color, changing the brightness, etc.

[0047] For example, when the vehicle 1 is in an accelerating state, the control device 4 controls the light emission brightness of the photoelectric module 320 to gradually increase according to the vehicle speed, and when the vehicle 1 is in a decelerating state, the control device 4 controls the light emission brightness of the photoelectric module 320 to gradually decrease according to the vehicle speed. As another example, when the battery level is high, the control device 4 controls the photoelectric module 320 to emit green light, and when the battery level is low, the control device 4 controls the photoelectric module 320 to emit red light. As another example, when the door is in an open state, the control device 4 controls the photoelectric module 320 to blink, and when the door is in a closed state, the control device 4 controls the photoelectric module 320 to turn off.

[0048] It should be noted that the association between the state of the vehicle 1 and the light emitting state of the photoelectric module 320 can be determined according to actual needs, and the above is merely an example, and other possible embodiments will not be described in detail.

[0049] In addition, the photoelectric module 320 may further include other electronic devices such as an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) module, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) module, a speaker module, a distance measurement module, etc. Taking the distance measurement module as an example, the distance measurement module may be an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles around the vehicle 1 and measure the distance between the obstacles and the vehicle 1, which is advantageous for the driver to perform accurate driving operations according to the current distance. The obstacles may be pedestrians, other vehicles, trees, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, the electronic device may be used in combination with the light emitting assembly 321. An exemplary description will be continued with the distance measuring module. The distance measuring module is electrically connected to the control device 4 of the vehicle 1 via the connector 322. The control device 4 obtains the distance measured by the distance measuring module in real time and makes a judgment. If the control device 4 judges that the distance between the vehicle 1 and the obstacle is too small, it issues a control signal to the light emitting assembly 321. Upon receiving the control signal, the light emitting assembly 321 exhibits a corresponding light emitting state (such as blinking) to attract the attention of pedestrians and drivers of other vehicles, thereby avoiding a collision and ultimately an accident.

[0051] 17, optionally, the first cover plate 340 and the connector 322 are of an integral structure. They may be formed by, but are not limited to, integral injection molding. As can be understood, the integral structure can increase the strength of the connector 322, and ensure that the photoelectric module 320 is always electrically connected to the vehicle 1, so as to ensure a good lighting effect.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 18, the present application provides a vehicle 1. The vehicle 1 includes a vehicle frame 2 and a car window assembly 3 described in any of the following embodiments. The car window assembly 3 is attached to the vehicle frame 2. The vehicle frame 2 is the skeleton of the vehicle 1, and supports and connects each assembly of the vehicle 1, holds each assembly in a relatively accurate position, and receives the weight of the parts of the vehicle 1 itself, as well as shock, twist, inertial force, and the like received during traveling. The car window assembly 3 may be, but is not limited to, a triangular window (also called a quarter window), and the present application will describe the triangular window as an example only.

[0053] Vehicle 1 may be, but is not limited to, a passenger car, a utility vehicle, a sports utility vehicle, an off-road vehicle, a pickup truck, a wagon, a bus, a truck, or the like.

[0054] Hereinafter, the vehicle window assembly 3 in the vehicle 1 according to the above embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0055] 19 and 20, the present application further provides a car window assembly 3. The car window assembly 3 includes a sealing strip 10, a decorative strip 40, a light-transmitting member 20 and a decorative module 30.

[0056] The sealing strip 10 surrounds and forms the receiving area A1, and the light-transmitting member 20 and the decorative module 30 are both disposed within the receiving area A1. On the one hand, the sealing strip 10 is for wrapping and protecting the edges of the light-transmitting member 20 and the decorative module 30. On the other hand, the sealing strip 10 is for connecting the light-transmitting member 20 and the decorative module 30 together to facilitate mounting on the vehicle frame 2. The material of the sealing strip 10 may be, but is not limited to, TPE, PU, ​​PVC, etc.

[0057] The decorative strip 40 is provided on the sealing strip 10 to surround the receiving area A1, in other words, the decorative strip 40 is provided on the sealing strip 10 along the shape of the sealing strip 10. In the present application, as shown in FIG. 19, a part of the decorative strip 40 is provided on a part of the outer edge of the transparent member 20, and another part of the decorative strip 40 is provided on a part of the outer edge of the decorative module 30. As can be seen, the decorative strip 40 is provided around the outer edge of the car window assembly 3, which can enhance the appearance of the car window assembly 3 and produce a good decorative effect. The material of the decorative bar 40 may be, but is not limited to, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc. The metal material has a light reflecting effect, which makes the decorative effect even better.

[0058] The light-transmitting member 20 can transmit light, thereby ensuring sufficient light inside the vehicle 1. The light-transmitting member 20 may be glass (for example, transparent glass for automobiles, gray glass, etc.), but is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the light-transmitting member 20 may be made of a material other than glass that can transmit light, and is not limited thereto in the present application.

[0059] The decorative module 30 includes a decorative plate 310, a photovoltaic module 320, and a support plate 330. The decorative plate 310 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle 1 for decoration. The decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330 are arranged opposite each other to form a first accommodating space Z1. The photovoltaic module 320 can emit light toward the decorative plate 310, and is at least partially arranged in the first accommodating space Z1, that is, at least a portion of the photovoltaic module 320 is accommodated between the decorative plate 310 and the support plate 330, and this arrangement can protect the photovoltaic module 320.

[0060] Moreover, in the related art, the decorative plate 310 is made of aluminum material. In this application, the material of the decorative plate 310 may be, but is not limited to, plastic, and its color may be, but is not limited to, white, yellow, gray, etc. As can be understood, the use of plastic instead of aluminum has the following advantages: First, cost reduction. When plastic is used instead of aluminum, the molding process of plastic is simpler, so the material cost is reduced. Second, weight reduction. Compared with metal decorative plates, plastic is lighter. Third, decorativeness. There are mature molding processes and surface treatment processes (such as In Molding Label (IML), laser engraving, spraying, etc.) for plastic decorative plates, which can provide good decorativeness. Fourth, function matching. Plastic parts are easy to be molded into complex shapes and have excellent optical properties (high light transmittance, low refractive index).

[0061] In summary, the vehicle window assembly 3 according to the present application includes a sealing strip 10, a light-transmitting member 20, and 30 decorative modules The light-transmitting member 20 and 30 decorative modules are connected together by a sealing strip 10. 30 decorative modules The photovoltaic module 320 includes a decorative plate 310, a photovoltaic module 320, and a supporting plate 330. The photovoltaic module 320 can emit light, and is at least partially disposed in a first accommodating space Z1 formed by the decorative plate 310 and the supporting plate 330 together, in other words, the decorative plate 310 is disposed on one side of the photovoltaic module 320, and the supporting plate 330 is disposed on the other side of the photovoltaic module 320, thereby isolating the photovoltaic module 320 from the outside world and providing good protection for the photovoltaic module 320.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 21, the decorative plate 310 includes a light-shielding portion 311 and a plurality of light-transmitting portions 312. The term "a plurality" means two or more, and specifically may be, but is not limited to, two, three, five, six, eight, etc. The light transmittance of the light-shielding portion 311 is smaller than that of the light-transmitting portion 312. Note that the light transmittance of the light-transmitting portion 312 is greater than 0, that is, the light-transmitting portion 312 can transmit the light emitted from the photoelectric module 320. The light transmittance of the light-shielding portion 311 may be equal to or greater than 0, that is, the light-shielding portion 311 cannot transmit the light emitted from the photoelectric module 320, or can transmit only a small portion of the light, and the light transmitted by the light-shielding portion 311 is less than the light transmitted by the light-transmitting portion 312.

[0063] In addition, the plurality of light-transmitting portions 312 are spaced apart from each other. The light-shielding portion 311 surrounds the periphery of each light-transmitting portion 312. In other words, the plurality of light-transmitting portions 312 are spaced apart from each other on the decorative plate 310, and the remaining portion of the decorative plate 310 is the light-shielding portion 311. When the photoelectric module 320 emits light, a plurality of light strips are formed at intervals on the decorative plate 310, which can improve the technological feel of the car window assembly 3.

[0064] Optionally, the light transmitting portion 312 is elongated, and the width of the light transmitting portion 312 is 2 mm or more.

[0065] 22, the decorative plate 310 includes concave portions 313 and convex portions 314 that are curved in a direction in which the decorative module 30 faces the light-transmitting member 20, i.e., the decorative plate 310 has a continuous concave-convex shape. The light-transmitting portion 312 is located in the concave portion 313, in the convex portion 314, or between the concave portion 313 and the convex portion 314.

[0066] Specifically, in one embodiment, all the light-transmitting portions 312 are located in the recesses 313, in another embodiment, all the light-transmitting portions 312 are located in the protrusions 314, and in yet another embodiment, some of the light-transmitting portions 312 are located in the protrusions 314 and some of the light-transmitting portions 312 are located in the recesses 313. In yet another embodiment, all the light-transmitting portions 312 are located in the protrusions 314 or between the recesses 313 and the protrusions 314. The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned several embodiments. As can be understood, by providing the recesses 313 and the protrusions 314, the light-transmitting portions 312 are curved, and the light emitted from the photovoltaic module 320 is refracted when passing through the light-transmitting portions 312, thereby expanding the irradiation range.

[0067] Optionally, the radius of curvature of the light-transmitting portion 312 is −1500 mm to 1500 mm, that is, the radius of curvature of the concave portion 313 and the radius of curvature of the convex portion 314 of the decorative plate 310 are both within the range of −1500 mm to 1500 mm.

[0068] 22 and 23, the decorative module 30 further includes a first cover plate 340 and a second cover plate 350 accommodated in the first accommodation space Z1. The first cover plate 340 includes a first plate body 341 and a first frame 342. The first plate body 341 is provided opposite the support plate 330. The first frame 342 is connected to the periphery of the first plate body 341 so as to bend in a direction away from the support plate 330, i.e., the first frame 342 is bent from the periphery of the first plate body 341 toward the decorative plate 310. The second cover plate 350 includes a second plate body 351 and a second frame 352. The second plate body 351 is provided opposite the decorative plate 310. The second frame 352 is connected to the periphery of the second plate body 351 so as to bend in a direction away from the decorative plate 310, i.e., the second frame 352 is bent from the periphery of the second plate body 351 toward the support plate 330.

[0069] The first cover plate 340 and the second cover plate 350 close each other to form the second accommodation space Z2. "Closed" means that the first frame 342 is inserted into the second frame 352, or the second frame 352 is inserted into the first frame 342. In this application, the first frame 342 is inserted into the second frame 352, and is described as an example only.

[0070] Further, the photovoltaic module 320 includes a plurality of light emitting assemblies 321 for emitting light. The plurality of light emitting assemblies 321 are accommodated in the second accommodating space Z2, and different light emitting assemblies 321 face different light transmitting portions 312 of the decorative plate 310, that is, the light emitting assemblies 321 and the light transmitting portions 312 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. In addition, the light emitted by the light emitting assemblies 321 can pass through the second cover plate 350, that is, the second cover plate 350 is made of a light transmitting material.

[0071] 23 and 24, the light emitting assembly 321 includes a light guiding strip 3211, a bulb 3212, and a circuit board 3213. The bulb 3212 is a light source that emits light, and may be, but is not limited to, a light emitting diode (LED). The light guiding strip 3211 is for converting a point light source into a surface light source. The circuit board 3213 is provided on one side of the light guiding strip 3211. The bulb 3212 is attached to the circuit board 3213.

[0072] Furthermore, the circuit board 3213 is mounted on the first cover plate 340 so as to stand at an angle. The light bulb 3212 is mounted on one side of the circuit board 3213 facing the light guiding strip 3211, that is, the light bulb 3212 is disposed opposite to the light guiding strip 3211. In this installation manner, the light emitted by the light bulb 3212 can be fully captured by the light guiding strip 3211, and sufficient light emission of the light guiding strip 3211 is ensured, and therefore good light emission quality of the decorative module 30 is ensured.

[0073] 23, the photovoltaic module 320 further includes a connector 322 provided on one side of the first cover plate 340 away from the second cover plate 350. The connector 322 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3213 via a cable, and is further electrically connected to the light bulb 3212.

[0074] Optionally, the car window assembly 3 is electrically connected to the control system of the vehicle 1 via the connector 322, and thus the car window assembly 3 displays the state of the vehicle 1. The state of the vehicle 1 may be, but is not limited to, the running state of the vehicle 1 (e.g., accelerating state, braking state, etc.), the battery state (e.g., charging state, low power state, etc.), the door state (open state, closed state, etc.), etc. The driver or manufacturer can set according to demand that the light guiding strip 3211 in the car window assembly 3 exhibits different display states, such as normal lighting, flashing, changing luminous color, etc., when the vehicle 1 is in different states.

[0075] In addition, the photoelectric module 320 may further include other modules such as UWB, Bluetooth, etc., and the specific configuration may be set according to needs, and is not limited here.

[0076] 24, the number of the light bulbs 3212 is plural, and plural means two or more, specifically, it may be two, three, four, six, eight, nine, ten, etc., but the present application is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the plurality of light bulbs 3212 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the light guiding strip 3211, as can be understood, such an arrangement can make the light guiding strip 3211 obtain a uniform amount of light in the longitudinal direction, and ensure the uniformity of the light output and the luminous quality of the decorative module 30.

[0077] 25, a step structure 343 is provided at the connection between the first plate 341 of the first cover plate 340 and the first frame 342, and a notch K1 is provided on both sides of the circuit board 3213 that are separated from each other, and the step structure 343 is accommodated in the notch K1. As can be seen, the vehicle 1 shakes lightly or severely from moment to moment while traveling, and the circuit board 3213 may fall due to the shaking, so that the light guiding strip 3211 may not be able to fully receive the light of the bulb 3212. In this embodiment, the step structure 343 and the notch K1 are engaged to prevent the circuit board 3213 from falling, so that the light guiding strip 3211 can fully receive the light of the bulb 3212.

[0078] Referring to FIG. 26, the sealing strip 10 includes a first sealing strip 110 and a second sealing strip 120. The first sealing strip 110 surrounds and forms a sealed area constituting the receiving area A1. As shown in FIG. 27, the decorative plate bar 40 is provided on the first sealing strip 110 surrounding the receiving area A1. The second sealing strip 120 is connected to both opposing sides of the first sealing strip 110 to divide the receiving area A1 into a first area B1 and a second area B2. The light-transmitting member 20 is provided in the first area B1, and the decorative module 30 is provided in the second area B2.

[0079] Optionally, the orthogonal projections of the translucent member 20 in the first region B1 are all within the first region B1, and the orthogonal projections of the decorative module 30 in the second region B2 are all within the second region B2, i.e., the orthogonal projections of the translucent member 20 in the accommodating region A1 and the orthogonal projections of the decorative module 30 in the accommodating region A1 do not overlap, thereby making it possible to reduce the overall thickness of the car window assembly 3.

[0080] As can be seen, by providing the second sealing strip 120, the transparent member 20 and the decorative module 30 can be simultaneously wrapped by the second sealing strip 120, so that the connection between the sealing strip 10, the transparent member 20 and the decorative module 30 becomes stronger. In addition, the vehicle 1 shakes from moment to moment while traveling, and by providing the second sealing strip 120, a gap can be provided between the transparent member 20 and the decorative module 30 to avoid collision between them, and from this point of view, the second sealing strip 120 plays a protective role.

[0081] Optionally, the area of ​​the orthogonal projection in the first region B1 of the light-transmitting member 20 is the first area, and the area of ​​the orthogonal projection in the second region B2 of the decorative module 30 is the second area. The sum of the first area and the second area is the third area, and the first area is 25% to 75% of the third area. It can be understood that when the car window assembly 3 is applied to the vehicle 1, the smaller the light-transmitting member 20 is, the less light the light-transmitting member 20 transmits, and the light of the rear row of the vehicle 1 becomes darker and the field of vision that the rear row people can have is also narrowed, so that the rear row people feel a sense of oppression. However, if the decorative module 30 is too small, it cannot play a role in decorating the appearance of the vehicle 1, so the first area is set in the range of 25% to 75% of the third area. Thereby, the light and field of vision requirements of the rear row people can be met, and the decorative module 30 can also have a sufficient decorative area.

[0082] 27 and 28, the decorative strip 40 has a first engagement portion X1, and the first sealing strip 110 is provided with a second engagement portion X2. The decorative strip 40 is connected to the second engagement portion X2 through the engagement between the first engagement portion X1 and the second engagement portion X2. In one embodiment, the first engagement portion X1 is a recess, and the second engagement portion X2 is a protrusion. In another embodiment, the first engagement portion X1 is a protrusion, and the second engagement portion X2 is a recess. In the above two aspects, the connection is realized by the engagement between the protrusion and the recess, but it is natural that the first engagement portion X1 and the second engagement portion X2 may be of other types, which will not be described in detail here. As can be seen, the provision of the first engagement portion X1 and the second engagement portion X2 makes it easier to attach the decorative strip 40 to the first sealing strip 110, and also ensures the attachment accuracy of the decorative strip 40, which can play a role in positioning.

[0083] The fixed connection between the decorative strip 40 and the first sealing strip 110 may be a removable connection or a non-removable connection. The removable connection may be realized by, but is not limited to, a thread connection. The non-removable connection may be realized by, but is not limited to, a point bond or a surface bond.

[0084] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, the above embodiments are illustrative and should not be understood as limiting the present application. Those skilled in the art may make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present application. These improvements and embellishments should also fall within the protection scope of the present application.
